PATENT ROBERT WIRZ, OF MILWAUKEE VJISC NSIN.

Application filed December 1, 1922, Serial Ne. 604328.

To all whom it may camera:

Be it known that I, ROBERT VVIRZ, a citizen of the United States,residing at Milwaukee, in the count-y of Milwaukee and tate of Nsconsin,have invented new and useful Inprovenents in Necktie Holders, of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of my sad'invention is the provision of a necltie holder ofsimple and strong Construction adapted more particularly for use inconjunction with four in hand neckties, and susceptble of associationwith low or high collars and in such Inanner that the tie can be readilyadjusted relative to the holder so that when one portion of the tie issoled or worn another portion of the tie can be positioned' for display.

To the attainment of the foregoing, the

invention consists in the improvement as' hereinafter described anddefinitely claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forminp; part of this speci'fication Fignre 1 is a perspective showing my novel holder as properly arrangedrelative to a turned down collar and a four in hand necktie.

Figure 2 is a rear elevation showing the holder and tie in combination.

Figure 3 is a perspective of my novel holder per se.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parte in all ofthe views of the drawings.

The maior portion of my novel holder is formed of a single piece of wirepossessed of more or less resiliency, and a central body of solder orequivalent material through the medium of which the central portions ofthe piece of wire are joined together in fixed relation. The majorportion ot wire comprises a top wall 1 loops 2 and lower bars 3, each ofwhich serves in connection with the part of the top bar above it to formone of the loops 2. The bar l is dished as illustrated to give theholder a general concavo-convex configuration with the concaveuppermost, and the bars 3 are merged at their inner ends into loops 4.-which, in turn` are merged into pendent yoke portions 5. The body ofsolder or equivalent material is designated by 6 and serves to fixedlyjoin the bight or center portion of the bar 1 and the loops 4 so thatthe said loops 4: are strongly fixed with respect to the yoke portions 5and the bight or center portion of the bar 1. The

voice formed in the nianner stated by the body 6 and the yoke portionsis adapted to straddle the shank of a collar button back of the headthereof so as to securely though detachably secure the holder and thetie associated thcrewith in proper position for wear relative to thecollar button and the collar connected to the collar button as shown inFigures l and 2. i

By particular reference to Figures l and 2 it will be noted that thecollar is designated by 7 and the necktie is designated by 8. It willalso be noted that the necktie is so arranged that it has the foremostcrosswise loop 9, back loops 10 and 11 and pendent end portions 12 and13, the loops 10 and ll extending forwardly over the holde: and the endportions 12 and 13 being carried downwardly in front of the holder andthrough the crosswise loop 9. From this it follows that the necktie maybe expeditionsly and easily adjusted as to length or lengthwise relativeto the holder without disassociation of the holder and necktie so thatwhen a portion of the neckte has become soiled or worn a fresh portionof the tie may be displayed for use and wear. Manifestly in Virtue ofthis, the usefulness and dressy appearance of the tie will be prolongedtor an indefinite period.

My invention contemplates marketing the holder per se as an article ofmannfecture and also contemplates the marketing es a new device ofpersonal wear the holder in combination with the necktie arranpedrelative to the holder so that the purchaser of the device is made awareot' the manner in which the necktie and holder are combined and is madefullv appreciative at the outset of the adaptability of the neclrtie tohe ad- 9 justed in the manner and for the purpose described relative tothe holder.

Manifestly my uovel holder is adapted to be manufactured at small costso that it is entirely feasible when deemed expedient to sell the holderwith a necktie for a price but little greater than the Selling price ofthe same necktie without a holder.

I have entered into a detailed description of the construction andrelative arranzement of the Darts embraced in the presentand preferredembodiment of my invention in order to impart a fulh clear and exactunderstanding of the said emhodiment. I do not desire. however, to beunderstood as confining myself to the specific construction and relativearrangement of parts inasmuch as in the 'future practice of the llU'BlllllOll Various changes and modifications may be made such as fallwithin the scope of my ihrention as defined in my appended claims. i

Havingdescribed my invention, What i claim and desre to secure byLetters Pat,

ent,1s:-

"- said bights to points below and adjacnt to the central portion of thetop bar and having loops at their inner ende, and pendent yoke portionsinto which the said loops merge, and a central solid body of solderthrough the medium of which the lat-ter loops and the central portion ofthe top bar are fixedly connected together.

A necktie holder having a dished top bar and also bars joined throughbghts to the ends of 'the top bar, and loops at the nner ends of thelower bars and pendent yoke portions extending :from said loops and alsohaving a body through the medium of which the latter loops and thecentral portion of the top bar are fixedly connected together, incombination With a neoktie having a crosswise loop in front of the'central portion of the holder and also having loops extending 'forwardlyover the holder and 'pendent portions carried by said loops and eX-tending downwardly through the firstnamed necktie loop.

in testimony Whereof I affix my signature.
